Josh's Guitar Shop Est. June 2014
Specializing in stringed instrument repair / modification and amplifier repair / modi Hello, I'm Josh Thompson. I was born and raised in Pekin, IL.

Also, I've been playing the local scene since the early nineties. So, I know what it means to have your favorite or only instrument go down right before showtime. You need it done right and fast....and you don't want to spend a fortune. This is one of the reasons why I started Josh's Guitar Shop. We are conveniently located at 1502 N. 8th St. in Pekin., right as you come into town on RT-29. I'm very excited to get this off the ground June 2014. Please let me show you how I can help you. Trusted, Quality repair at a price you can afford. Not a lot of fluff, just the stuff that you need.
